Democrats Better Start Soul Searching

Obama is the new Jim Jones.

The Obamazombies who voted for him are already leaking Kool-Aid from every orifice.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Democrats will own his results without the benefit of his appeal.

2012 just proved results don't matter. What matters is giving the underclass freebies, citizenship, obamaphonium etc. That is all that matters.

Sports broadcasts are part of the media/pop culture attempt to dumb down society. I watched horse racing on NBC a few nights ago, the Breeders Cup. To put it in perspective, to serious players, the Breeders Cup is much larger than the Kentucky Derby. It is truly the World Series of the sport. NBC had a one-hour broadcast to focus on the primary event after the NBC Sport Network (formerly Versus) showed two days of races spanning many hours. During the few minutes NBC dedicated to this big race, what do we get? A ditzy broad who is an entertainment reporter and who said “I am picking Alpha because he looked at me earlier.” (Alpha finished in last place.) An unqualified dunce when there are so many people with credentials to give proper analysis?

Ya first gotta have a soul to be able to search for it.

[GreyFriar]

They have no souls as defined by Western Judeo-Christian morality. They are interested in establishing a dictatorship of the socialistic/communistic elite over this nation and driving out/oppressing their enemies; i.e. folks who actually work and pay the bills, people who believe in the constitution, individual freedom, individual RESPONSIBILITY, and economic freedom.

They are interested only in taking from the productive to give to the non-productive to keep themselves in power.

This was the second election won by low information voters.

This is the new normal.....

God save the republic, for surely the majority electorate is not up to the task

[Don Corleone]

Obama couldn’t run on his record, which proved to be no problem—Americans didn’t vote on his record. According to exit polls, 77 percent of voters said the economy is bad and only 25 percent said they’re better off than they were four years ago. But since six in ten voters claimed the economy as their number one issue, it’s clear this election wasn’t about issues at all

What is clear is that the Marxist machinery was far better than the RINO machinery. See"The Manchurian President" by Aaron Klein for details. The Pubbies never stood a chance.

[subterfuge]

Keeping your offspring on Obamacare until the age of 26--when they should already be launched into an independent life of their own--echoes the encouragement of dependency and childlikeness.

Of all the things "conservatives" pick up on as evidence of dependency and cheating the system, this is the stupidest. Guess what E? This ain't part of obamacare and it is NOT a handout. I have my 23 yo daughter on my company healthcare and I pay almost DOUBLE versus just me and my wife. I repeat, it is NOT FREE. Oh, and she can't find a job paying more than $10 an hour and she is fighting hard against cancer.

At least find a decent issue to raise concerns about regarding barry obama---there's a million of them out there. This is the kind of thing people rightly point out about conservatives and how "mean" they are. And please, no lectures about Constitutionality, that ship has sailed.

I am a NYC high school teacher. I am appalled by the low level of work assigned to the students in many cases. I just witnessed last week an assignment given to 9th grade English students, which consisted of filling in 8 boxes for 8 word roots with the following information: 2 examples of words made from that word root, a PICTURE of what that word root means, the meaning of the word root and a sentence made with a word from that word root. In most cases, it was obvious that even after the drawing of cartoons and looking up of words, they hadn't a clue what the word root or words made from it meant. Yet I am quite sure that this lesson would be lauded by the Bloomberg-bots observing it, in that it was "child-centered". Oh yeah, and the "new norm" in these small schools Bloomberg created from deliberately destroying large community high schools is that the students call their teacher by their FIRST NAME. No way, Jose. I am not "one" with my students. I am their TEACHER.

Would you agree that the level of this lesson was more appropriate to a 6th or 7th grade class?

This is but a microscopic example of why we are a nation of people not exhibiting age-appropriate behavior or levels of thinking.

[Josephat]

Why isn’t the right media making more of this!?!?!?!?

WHAT right wing media is that?

[Obadiah]

In my view, Democrats easily choose idols and worship them intently.

Exhibit “A”: That company is, and has been, the focus of abject worship by liberals. Look, I own an iPhone, but have you ever witnessed such devotion beyond reason to a company? Look anywhere online and see the outpouring if someone dare speak ill of anything Apple.

I saw the same thing, but to on a smaller scale, with companies such as Tesla Motors.

It is the same with Obama. They literally worship Obama and this idolatrous worship blinds them to reality. So yes, it cult-like, but because Liberals have rejected the true God, they worship other things and people in His place.

Limbaugh’s sportscasting career came to a crashing halt when he pointed out the obvious....that the black guy was really stinkin’ it up out there, and the media was working triple-overtime to cover it up and give him a pass.

Limbaugh was full of baloney on McNabb. At that point he wasn't Joe Montanna by any stretch but he was certainly not a scrub like Rush implied. I'd say at that time McNabb was at least in the top 10 QBs and probably top 5. Now if Rush had said "Michael Vick" instead I'd have been there with him.

[Leep]

I wish because they could all drink the kool-aid for real...problem solved.

Democrats Better Start Soul Searching

As far as most of them are concerned, they don't have one.

[reluctantwarrior]

You assume he leaves office in 2016 a cult will demand he stays forever

[dowcaet]

The American people are the ones who need some soul searching. How in the world could we allow this president with one of the worst records of any chief executive in our history be given a second term? Americans today are all about flash and style over substance. Watching the election night coverage I saw numerous shots of young Obama supporters celebrating as if it were New Year’s Eve and I thought they’re the ones who are going to suffer because they have to pay the bills for this economic catastrophe and their futures had just been thrown into the trash. I thought if they only knew what was in store for them they wouldn’t be in such a joyous mood. We’re all currently living during America’s demise and we have no one to blame but ourselves.

This was my thought early this morning as I thought about the slurry of resignations that will occur in the Obama Administration. Democrats and Undecideds better be prepared to finally speak out. Not like it will mean all that much.

OCCUPY THIS Facebook Page

Who here lives in one of these states: WI, OH, PA, VA, FL?

How many of you are willing to put a little effort into this? Apparently the election is not final for 15 days. Romney conceded on false numbers. Think about it.

The call for volunteers reads: People in those key states can call the Secretary of State's office today and find out who are the electors chosen by the GOP last year besides calling the State GOP headquarters. Get your group, organization or just yourself to contact every elector in those states and demand they challenge the vote. Tea Party groups network in those states and get the word out. Stand up and fight. Don't walk away and allow fraud to steal this election - again. Show that evil waste of human skin, George Soros, we will not roll over and take it, again. Make your voices heard in Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Florida. There are millions of you mad as I am. Please, start the fight first thing Monday morning.

If a half dozen electors in each of those five states are flooded with phone calls telling him/her that if the impostor is allowed to stay in the White House four more years, the destruction to this republic and them will be complete. Appeal to their own self survival. We're tired of cowards. Always be polite, but don't hold back. If you or your group does this, please let me know. We need to make sure this fight stays in front of the American people. It won't by the MSM or cable networks like FOX, but we have the Internet.

[Terry Mross]

King obama says no shale oil will be extracted. What would happen if the energy companies said “to hell with it” and started extracting anyway? What if they started drilling where the king says they can’t drill? Exactly what could the king do about it?
